..He says plainly that he is for the war, or against abortion rights, and people hear the opposite. It's a gift, I guess.

All successful politicians must have at least some talent for lying about what's in their hearts and convincing people that it is the truth.
But Sen. John McCain has a unique genius for telling the truth from his heart and making people believe that he is lying. And these people are his supporters! They admire him as a straight talker and they forgive him for taking positions on big issues that they find repellent on the grounds that he doesn't really mean what he says.
"Oh, he has to say that to get the Republican nomination," explain many Democrats with a crush on the charming, funny, intelligent and heroic Republican senator from Arizona, and/or a special loathing of their party's own star, the junior senator from New York. "That" might refer to Mr. McCain's strong right-to-life stand on abortion, his strong support for the war in Iraq or his recent rapprochement with the Rev. Jerry Falwell.

Girly man Kinsley tells us what we already know-- McCain's a snake, and the Dems love him anyway.
I gotta tell you...the headline tells it all---don't even need the article...lol
There is something to be said about those that would willingly support someone they believe to be little more than a pathological liar.
I agree, the phrase is a stroke of genius...and truth.
Semper Fi
<< McCain's a snake, and the Dems love him anyway. >>
Rubbish.
The Dims love him BECAUSE he is such a bloody snake.
> But Sen. John McCain has a unique genius ...
It's all perfectly understandable when accurately
reported as:
"But Sen. John McCain (D,AZ) has a unique genius ..."
Like Clinton supporters?
McCain, with no disrespect to his service in Vietnam, isn't smart enough to be sly. He's just not sure what he really believes from day to day. Bush called it right on this one. Maybe the Commies hurt his mind in Nam.
Heh, that would be one group.
McCain. Ick.
More a chameleon than a snake.
For all the BS, Kinsley wouldn't be caught dead voting for McCain and neither would I.
